Abstract

Systems for producing traction, wherein each traction system is an apparatus that provides traction on snow and ice covered surfaces. A pair of Back Country skis each are mounted with an apparatus; having DC powered controls, tilt switch, pressurized carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas powered pneumatic actuators operating gripping parts; controlled by a servo unit. A pair of foot wear (hiking boots) having a DC powered servo-solenoid-valve units controlling pressurized CO 2 , gas powering pneumatic rotors, operating, hydraulic pumps, actuators with gripping parts. A pair of snowmobile skis each having an assembly of parts; driven by an hydraulic rotor that pivots the skis, adjusting their position when cornering, providing traction, according to a snowmobile steering system. And is powered and controlled by at least one of: hydraulic steering system, an electro-hydraulic steering system; an electric power steering system using an electric motor instead of hydraulic rotor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. System for producing traction, wherein the traction system is at least one of an apparatus that provides traction on snow and ice covered surfaces, said system comprising:
 a traction apparatus adapted to each of a pair of footwear, each said apparatus having a pre-programmed first unit consisting of a, DC powered radio frequency-receiver-servo-control-solenoid valve unit, that is turned on by an exterior source radio frequency transmitter acting as an on/off switch; and 
 captured by the receiver to opens the solenoid valve of the first unit; that controls incoming pressurized carbon dioxide gas from a cartridge, that 
 powers a gas pneumatic rotary actuator powering a hydraulic vane pump feed hydraulic oil from a reservoir, 
 said first unit controls a second DC powered solenoid-multi valves unit acting as an on/off switch that controls the inflow and out flow of oil pressure from the pump and reservoir; 
 the oil pressure produced by the pump powers two hydraulic oil cylinders each having a piston wherein each piston is fixed with at least one of a 
 gripping parts; that extrude from the underside of each footwear soles; 
 said hydraulic cylinders are single acting type that self retract the pistons with said gripping parts when oil pressure is cut off. 
 
     
     
       2. The footwear apparatus to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is adapted for at least one of, boots, and shoes. 
     
     
       3. The first unit of footwear apparatus to  claim 1 , wherein said first unit is pre-programmed by computer. 
     
     
       4. The transmitter controlling the footwear apparatus to  claim 1 , wherein said transmitter is an interface broadband communication system, that operates from at least one of, mobile phone, and computer module, and remote control transmitter. 
     
     
       5. The footwear apparatus to  claim 1 , that is controlled by an on/off switch fixed to the exterior lining of the upper part of said footwear and linked to the first unit of the apparatus using wire cable.
